Waiting List

After the group of acceptance e-mails were sent out yesterday it turns out only a few people who were on the boards/forums were actually accepted. We all just assumed this meant more acceptances were coming soon for those who hadn't heard.

Nikki (Timitu on the boards) was nice enough to ask Eric when she called in the morning, and he said he'd be sending out another round of emails! YAY! I still had my fingers crossed for all my friends who hadn't heard anything.

As it turns out, the e-mail was to be placed on the waiting list, and it seems most of the people I know fall into that category. Fortunately the waiting list is not a bad place to be! With the few number of acceptances they've sent out most people are assuming they just haven't finished sorting out start dates and positions, but they wanted to let people know that they were still in the running! Also, they will most likely need replacements for people who get kicked out, or have to leave early! It's quite possible that they could be down in Florida before I am!

Also, there are many stories of people who have applied, and been put on the waiting list (or even have been sent a rejection email) and then they get a call from Eric a week later offering them a position! I really hope that is the case. Now that I'm starting to calm down about being accepted, I'm really hoping that my friends will get to go too! Can you say "trip to South Beach"?

*fingers crossed* and I'll keep people updated!
